Nicola Hopewell

Nicola Hopewell (born 5 September 1991) is an English professional boxer who holds the Commonwealth female flyweight title.

Professional boxing career
Hopewell made her professional debut on 26 August 2022 with a sixth-round stoppage of Klaudia Ferenczi.

Points wins over Spain's Buchra El Quaissi and Ivanka Ivanova from Bulgaria followed before, in just her fourth fight, she unsuccessfully challenged Emma Dolan for the Commonwealth female super-flyweight title, losing by unanimous decision in Sheffield on 6 October 2023.

Hopewell returned to the ring on 3 February 2024 securing a points win against Kata Pap before moving down a weight division for a second attempt to claim a Commonwealth title this time at flyweight. The switch proved a good move as Hopewell took the vacant championship thanks to a unanimous decision victory over Gemma Ruegg in Rotherham on 20 April 2024.

Other media
Hopewell took part in an episode of obstacle-course based gameshow Ninja Warrior UK which aired on ITV in April 2024.
